“One of the most American things I’ve ever seen. Veteran, shirtless, sandals, big gun, protecting his property. It checks all the boxes” – Youtube Commenter
There was a firefight in a suburban neighborhood in Jonesboro, Georgia, where Whitfield Smith, a US Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan, fended off 3 gunmen on foot and two in a vehicle. Whitfield fired a warning shot with his Hi-Point 995 then braved the theater shirtless with pajama bottoms and a pair of flip flops. He was met with gun fire, so he dropped back for cover and to grab his AR-15. The thugs took off before Whitfield returned and secured the area- there were no casualties.
Whitfield’s bravery and Americanist example gives us the honor to present to him the title of “2A For Today Modern Militiaman!”
